Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Honestly could have been 5 stars so easily. The seasoning on the food made for a really tasty and we cleared out plates unfortunately the dishes where just all slightly over cooked. Which made the Damon and chicken very dry. We where here on a...quite day there was only two tables between two staff and the service was just very slow. No waiters could be seen thought-out our meal. They did come over and clear our plates and offer dessert menus but after 20 mins None came back to see if we actually wanted any so we just decided to leave it. I went to use the bathrooms and the two servers where in the still area on there phone. Just a couple of issues that really took away from the overall experience. Truthfully I would be ok to try this restaurant again but I won't be rushing back.More

Hugely disappointed with our visit to Reeds. My wife ordered fish and chips. When it eventually arrived she was disgusted to find the fish was gone off. They took it away with no apology offered. I had 2 330 ml bottles of beer for which...they charged €7 each...rip off. Excuse was there was a price increase that day.More

I was very disappointed with the service. We were a party of three and from the time we ordered our food to receiving it, it was 40 minutes. The restaurant didn't appear to be busy. The food was really good however when we asked for...the dessert menu we were left waiting again. My friend left the table on 2 occasions to remind them we were waiting on the dessert menu. Really disappointed with the service and I will not be returning.More

Nice location in Lucan village, relaxing atmosphere, but the food is just OK and the staff seem a bit disorganised. Children portions are generous and good quality, so its a good family option.

I called 3 days in advance and spoke to a girl called Lauren to make a reservation. She confirmed my table for 4 and I have never received written confirmation from them before so I didn’t think we would have an issue. We (4 of...us) arrived to a really busy restaurant to be greeted and told we had no reservation. The staff member who greeted us basically did not care that we had gotten ready to go for a meal which WAS PLANNED and she 100% wasn’t willing or able to accommodate us. We were just told no, end of. I gave the staff members name to this girl and she said she will surely mention it to her. I’m sorry but that is NOT good enough! It was actually humiliating. It was also impossible to get a table at any other restaurant in the area. We were shown to courtneys bar, through the staff canteen which looked filthy anyway, and point to a small round table in a little corner and told we could order food from The Reeds menu. This table would barely accommodate 2 people for eating, never mind 4. I will never return. If you have a reservation I recommend calling a day or so later to reconfirm. That is if you can get an answer from the phone!More

Superb restaurant with amazing food. The quality of service is fantastic. Their steaks and fried fish is delicious, we would rate it as one of the best fried hakes in Ireland!! Definitely worth a try and they're very good with kids!

Unfortunately food was terrible. I order the cod, quarter of a fillet overcooked and the potatoes soaked in butter. Staff were lovely but the place was empty on a Fri evening & now we know why. Overpriced. . Will never return.

Yes they have gluten free options and I'm not sure if you can pop in for a coffee. The restaurant is fancy but they have a pub downstairs that you might be able to do that in.
